ChatGPT Desktop App Gets Voice Mode: Hands-Free AI Control

OpenAI has updated its ChatGPT desktop app to include support for ChatGPT Voice. This new feature lets users control AI agents and perform tasks on their computer by speaking to the app. It uses OpenAI’s new family of voice models, called ChatGPT-Live. ChatGPT Voice works with both ChatGPT Work and Codex, and can also look up websites and apps using computer skills. On macOS, users can even let the app access what's on their screen, including alt-text, through Appshots. The desktop update is more capable than the smartphone version. Users can dictate complex, multi-step commands and respond when ChatGPT needs input. A demo video showed a developer asking ChatGPT to create a new thread, make a pull request, and find a bug's root cause, all with one command. Users can also utilize ChatGPT Voice in Codex from the iOS app via remote access. This means interacting with AI on your computer is becoming more intuitive and hands-free.
